Get your team together and take on a challenge for Mersey Cares!
Looking for a fun, meaningful way to bring your team together in 2026? Why not take on a fundraising challenge for our Trust’s charity, Mersey Cares?
Joining a team fundraiser is a brilliant way to boost morale, strengthen team bonds, and improve physical health and wellbeing — all while raising money to support projects that make a real difference for our patients, service users and staff.
Every pound raised helps fund initiatives across the Trust, from therapeutic activities and recovery support to education, equipment and enhancements that go beyond the scope of the NHS.
Raise money for a specific project
Did you know you can even take part to raise funds for a specific project to benefit your service? The Halton Children and Young People’s Service recently took part in the Liverpool Santa Dash and raised £1,000 towards an art project to benefit their service users!

Why your support matters
Without our incredible Mersey Cares fundraisers taking on these challenges, we simply wouldn’t be able to support patients, service users and their families in the way we do. Your efforts help to enhance the services we can provide — and we’re so grateful for every step, stride and slice of cake you contribute.
